1 Safety
1.1 Personal protection: Safety precautions for accident

prevention
z The machines and apparatus of BUHLER are provided at the manufacturing works with
safety devices in accordance with today's standards of engineering, and in compliance
with the generally valid regulations for the prevention of accidents, consideration having
been given to the application for which the machine was designed.
z The operator of the machine is expected to observe the regulations stated below with a
view to achieving maximum safety of the operators working at the machines.
z Belt and chain guards must always be installed and closed. Open or removed guards are
extremely frequent causes of very serious injuries through bruising and shearing. The
same applies for the guards of handling devices (robots).
z Safety limit switches, interlock cylinders, speed monitors, and solenoid valves or locking
magnets for the interlock of doors, must always be maintained in good working condition.
Safety limit switches must never be bridged or put out of action.
z Grates, bars or safety grids are usually permanently fixed to the machines. They can only
be removed by means of tools. Machines provided with such devices may only be
operated with these safety features fixed.
z When carrying out overhaul, setup, inspection and maintenance work, always put the
drive motor out of action by completely separating all phases (electrical conductors). This
is done by means of a switch which isolates all the poles and can be locked, and which is
installed next to the machine or in the control desk or control panel of the plant.
The mere removal of the fuses is not enough!
z If the machine relies on other sources of power for its operation, e.g. pneumatic or
hydraulic power, steam or hot water, these supply lines must also be shut off; in addition,
the internal system of power lines on the machine must be made pressure less.
z Heated or cooled machine parts must be approached with special care, considering the
risk of getting burned.
z If a machine is put out of action by actuating the emergency stop switch, it must not restart
when the switch is reset. The machine must not restart before the master switch is turned
on again.
z Special care must be exercised in connection with machines provided with partial cutout
devices, e.g. machine tools, die casting machines and similar equipment. Strictly observe
the instructions supplied with the machine. In operating machinery with partial cutout
devices, always be prepared for the buildup of pressures or vacuums, temperature rises,
etc. after certain time intervals.
z If employees of a plant are unable to read or write, the owner of the plant must explicitly
draw their attention to any existing hazards and must give them special instructions.
z Cleaning, greasing and oiling of machines or machine sections must only be carried out
when the machine is at a standstill. If, for this purpose, it is necessary to climb onto the
machine or if the machine has to be entered, it is absolutely imperative, without exception,

©Copyright 2009 BCHA AHBG -67006-1-en-1103 

2 Discharger 

to cut off all the poles of the drive motors and to lock the switch with which this is done!
z In the case of machines from which material samples are drawn, care must be taken that
this can be done without risk. It often proves possible to draw samples from a pipe or
spout downstream of the machine instead of from the machine itself.
z Always remove dust, dirt and material deposits. Clean machines and installations increase
the dependability and safety and the degree of cleanliness of a plant. This helps prevent
dust explosions.
z If a machine is losing oil or grease, it must immediately be removed and the leak must be
stopped. Grease and oil on the floor increases the danger of accident considerably for the
operators.
z Safety devices must always be kept in working order and must never be removed, made
ineffective or put out of action. In such an event we would decline any responsibility and
we explicitly reserve the right of recourse to the responsible party.
z Furthermore, we refer to the special instructions concerning accident prevention in our
operating manuals.
z BUHLER machines and apparatus must be operated exclusively by trained, specialised
personnel.
z At the final putting out of operation of the machine, observe in the interest of the
environment and for purposes recycling:
z Drain off into special containers, such fluids as motor oil and gear oil, brake fluid and
cooling liquids, and send them to processing facilities. Dispose of toxic refuse (e.g.
batteries) according to regulations. Separate plastic materials and provide them for
recycling. Separate metal parts according to type for scrapping or for the shredder.

1.2 Explosion protection: Measures to be taken against dust fires

and dust explosions
1.2.1 General rules and tidiness and cleanliness
z A major condition for safety is that areas in which combustible dust is processed are kept
as clean as possible.
z Avoid the storing of goods either in bags or loose around the machines.
z In order to reduce emission of dust into the environment, all transporting units, cyclones
and filters are to be kept in good order, i.e. any leaks from pipes and covers are to be
avoided as much as possible.
z In order to reduce the danger for explosion, everything is to be cleaned from dust most
thoroughly.
z Dust should not be allowed to collect on motors.
1.2.2 Routine checks and maintenance
z To prevent belt- and V-belt slipping drives from running hot due to slipping, these are to
be checked regularly, at least once a week.
z Speed monitors and similar safety devices are to be routine tested at least once a week.
z All magnetic separators, dry destoners and sieves are to be routine tested and cleaned
at least once a day.
z To avoid shafts and bearings running hot, these are to be routine checked at least once
a week and lubricated regularly.
1.2.3 Electricals installations

AHBG -67006-1-en-1103 ©Copyright 2009 BCHA 

Discharger 3 

z Electrical installations and appliances must be checked and tested regularly.

– It is portable lamps and lamp fittings without covering or protective glass may not be
used.
– extension cables and electrical heaters are not allowed.
– faulty installations and appliances must be repaired or replaced immediately.
– the fastening of loose cables on the floor is not permitted.
– outside working hours the electrical circuit of the installation must be switched off as
extensively as possible from a central point.
– at least once a year the entire electrical installation is to be checked by an
authorized electrician for faulty insulation, according to the rules for power circuits.
1.2.4 Smoking and welding
z Smoking must not be allowed. This does not only apply to the personnel of the company,
but also to guests, customers, foreign craftsmen, drivers, etc.
z Repairs and erection work that require the use of welders, blow torches, etc. must be
done in a separate, specially equipped workshop whenever possible.
z In case welding or the use of an open flame cannot be avoided within the production- or
store areas, a written consent must be attained from the responsible manager. Such
work must not be done before special safety measures are taken, moistened tarpaulins
have been spread out to cover the direct vicinity and fire extinguishers have been placed
near the working area. The area and the environment at which the welding work was
done, must be kept under supervision for at least 10 hours after work has been finished.
The spray of liquid hot metal drops from flame cutting (welding beads} are extremely
dangerous since one does not see where they go. These can travel through narrow slits,
openings in walls, etc. to adjacent or lower rooms, covering distances of more than 10
meters. If such hot welding beads land in a layer of dust, there is potential danger for a
smolder fire.
z Under no condition may welding work be done on transport systems that are in
operation. Such work may be carried out only after the systems have been switched off,
thoroughly cleaned out and blocked off on both sides for example with mineral wool, so
that there is no connection with other transport elements, silos and containers, etc.
When working on spouting and conveying pipes, these are to be dismantled and the
lower end turned away or blocked, so that no glowing parts can get into conveying lines
or silos.

1.2.5 Electrostatic charges

z In order to make sure of electric conduction, i.e. to prevent an explosion occurring due to
spark discharge, remove any layer of paint from electrical contact surfaces.
